Deer runs across soccer pitch and scores goal (VIDEO)

A young deer sprinted across the pitch during a youth soccer match — and somehow managed to score a goal.

And that's deer — not dear, grandma.

On a video posted on YouTube, the runaway animal can be seen leaping across a playing field towards the woods while a game was taking place. Seconds later, the deer charges towards the action and manages to deflect a shot as it sprints across the goalmouth.

The ball ends up in the corner of the net to the disbelief of players and spectators.

It is not clear where this footage of the goal-scoring Bambi was taken, but it didn't stick around for a tryout for Jurgen Klinsmann.
